Every day in school, I get punched in front of everybody by lunch until I get a bruise and everybody laughs at me that I have bruises on my cheeks. Seven of my bruises finally went away but there are still two of them left (as you can see in my avatar). I just can't take it anymore coming home every day with cuts and bruises all over my face. Today was much worse. Not only did I get bruises, but, for the first time in my life, I lost my self esteem completely. I need help immediately!! !!

The school / university doesn't do anything about it? Did you talk with someone? Do you know if bullying is against the law where you live?

If people laugh at you for getting beaten up, you should really try to find a new school or community. Also, don't you have parents, family members, teachers, or relatives you can talk to? You should definitely talk to the police if you're being attacked and bruised daily as that is physical assault.

That's not okay at all. I can sort of understand you being wary of asking for help but you really need to do something or one of these days, those kids could potentially beat you to death - the sad truth. You'll just be another news story of a teen getting beaten to death by bullies, with the added tragic footnote that you have Aspergers.

Does this happen everyday? Do you cover up your bruises?

How have other people (particularly adults) not noticed? Why has no one ever asked you what happened? And if anyone ever did ask - why do you shrug it off and not accept help? Stop being weak and accept help when you know you need it. Be proactive if you give a sh*t about your life. You said that this incident was the first time you "lost your self esteem completely" but honestly? If you had any self esteem at all you would have sought out help instead of taking these constant beatings and accepting them like its a normal thing or thinking that you deserve it (you don't).

Why aren't your parents/guardians doing anything? They are definitely neglecting you and, no offense, doing a piss poor job at their role - especially considering the fact that you have Aspergers.

And if your teachers/school officials just pretend to not notice, well you got yourself a chance at winning a nice lawsuit. Also if your parents/guardians haven't done anything to help you, don't let them anywhere near that lawsuit money.

It sounds like you live in a toxic environment, both at school and at home.

Anyway, I hope your still alive, since you haven't posted in a while ...

You have visible bruises. Go to your principal as soon as possible. This can't be happening. You have to make it known to the school authorities. Do it before your bruises go away.

Even if they do nothing, it's better to have a "paper trail," so you could report a pattern, while going over the principal's head.

Maybe, if nothing is being done after a few weeks or so, call up a TV news channel, or a newspaper. Maybe this needs to be publicized.

I like all the advise given here. Some seems better than others. Getting some type of admin involved never seemed to work for me, I guess I couldn't plead my case as well as the NT bullies.

My Mother taught me a technique, however, that has stood me in good stead and never failed. She said: "Get them alone, one at a time."

For me, in the '40s and '50s, this worked well because, then, according to most people and especially admin types, physical bullying was just a fact of life, like bad weather and "It always takes two to make a fight" (idiots). There was no help from school authorities at all.

But these days perhaps you don't have to physically "adjust" the situation. Some bully types are only followers...by themselves they may find they think differently and desist. I've also found bullies are often cowards looking for someone more miserable to take their frustrations out on. Never give in.
